Hi there, From a fresh install of the pulumi CLI on a linux, running a stack we use elsewhere without any issue, I get during preview this weird error I've never seen before :
Copy code
error: could not find latest version for provider pulumi-nodejs: 404 HTTP error fetching plugin from <https://api.github.com/repos/pulumi/pulumi-pulumi-nodejs/releases/latest>. If this is a private GitHub repository, try providing a token via the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable. See: <https://github.com/settings/tokens>
I didn't see really relevant issues on the github, so asking here before opening a ticket
b
@faint-motherboard-95438 this is usually because your code or stack config is incorrect. Can you share both?
f
hey @billowy-army-68599 thanks for answering. Thing is, that works for my coworkers and in the CI, so I don't think the code nor stack have a problem, it's only me with a fresh install of the CLI on a new linux
(arch package 
3.74.0-1
)
I can open an issue if you think that's relevant
b
we’d need a repro at the very least
what does 
pulumi about
say?

Pulumi locates its logs in /tmp by default
I tried commands like
Copy code
pulumi plugin install language nodejs
or
Copy code
pulumi plugin install language pulumi-nodejs
but same error as during a 
pulumi preview
b
it’s trying to reference a provider that doesn’t exist, usually because there’s configuration euther in the stack or the code that references a nodejs provider, see here: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/blob/50e548a0b31a8ff482a99dbc780a6f7378dc4a54/pkg/workspace/plugin.go#L65
you might try verbose logs, but without code or stack config it’s going to be hard to debug
f
the 
Pulumi.yaml
looks like this
Copy code
name: [redacted]
runtime: nodejs
description: [redacted]
config: stacks/
and we have nearly nothing in the stacks, that's a small deployment to CDN project :
Copy code
config:
  aws:region: eu-west-1
so that would be the 
runtime
then ? but we always used this one and it works (still) elsewhere. CLI version compatibility issue maybe ? Mine would be too recent ?
b
I don’t believe so, but downgrading is an option to eliminate it as a possibility
f
I tried the oldest I have in cache : 3.46.1 The error at this time had a tip for this problem :
Copy code
error: could not load plugin for pulumi-nodejs provider 'urn:pulumi:staging::cresh-admin::pulumi:providers:pulumi-nodejs::default': Could not automatically download and install resource plugin 'pulumi-resource-pulumi-nodejs', install the plugin using `pulumi plugin install resource pulumi-nodejs`.
But as I stated before, this exact suggested command outputs the same error as the preview, so...
I'll rely on a patch of our CI for now, since it works there. I thought it would be a straightforward easy issue but apparently not, so.. Thanks for having looked into it, maybe I'll open an issue later with more infos (if I can get some)
b
and as I stated before, the error message isn’t giving you the solution, it’s telling you the problem. The error message is generated from here: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/blob/50e548a0b31a8ff482a99dbc780a6f7378dc4a54/pkg/workspace/plugin.go#L45 There is no such resource plugin as 
nodejs
that’s a language plugin This isn’t a valid urn:
Copy code
urn:pulumi:staging::cresh-admin::pulumi:providers:pulumi-nodejs::default
there’s no such provider as 
pulumi-nodejs
so you’ll need to try and find in your code where your that provider is instantiated. Are you using a dynamic provider?
f
We don't and there's no reference to 
nodejs
anywhere in the code, which is very small, as I said that's just a deploy project to a bucket+cdn. Again the code, stack and all work well within other environments (local and github CI), so my main guess is a local issue on my end. I'll dig into it later, thanks again for being always so reactive 🙏
e
This looks like a bad install. There should be a 
pulumi-language-nodejs
binary next to the 
pulumi
binary. If that's missing you'll see this error.
